Benefit

When using a spell trigger device, such as a wand or staff, you can expend a charge from the device and produce a ray of magical energy that you can fire at a single target within 60 feet. With a successful ranged touch attack, the ray deals amage based on the level of the spell normally produced by the magic item, according to the table below. Spell Level Damage. 1st ---- 1d6. 2nd --- 3d6. 3rd --- 6d6. 4th --- 10d6. For example, a charge from a wand of cure moderate wounds could be used to deal 3d6 points of damage to a target. This attack benefi ts from Weapon Focus (ranged spells) and similar feats and effects. The ray is treated as a spell of the same level as the spell normally produced by the magic item. Spell resistance applies to the damage, using the caster level of the spell trigger item.
